From my experience, UKZN and UNIZULU has a method of evaluating ones academic transcript themselves but in all fairness, I know SAQA certificate is one of the major perquisite to be used to grant your study permit by RSA embassy

Hey Bro in UKZN no Saqa no admission. Presently i am doing my masters degree in UKZN I don't know of UNIZULU

This is not completely accurate. I know for a fact that the department of mathematics does not require SAQA.

mcafeez:


Please can you give me a uni that doesn't emphasis on SAQA....

just do the saqa bro. even if a uni desnt ask, embassy will ask so be on a safe side

Hello iwise, Please are you currently studying in department of mathematics? Do you know anyone that got admission from UKzn without Saqa?

Yes, I am a postgraduate student of maths department. Everyone I know here was not asked to submit a SAQA evaluation certificate.

@Femiaction, I am currently waiting for my PhD admission at UKZN without my SAQA evaluation. I hope to get my admission letter as soon as the school resumes for current academic session by Jan 9. Even UNIZULU gave me same admission without demanding for my SAQA.
From my experience, each schools has its own method of transcript evaluation.
@mcafeez, Just register for saqa to be on the safe side since you'll be applying for your study permit. Also, the saqa could afford you the opportunity to apply to some other schools.

Good Day everyone,
Please anyone who knows the direction to south Africa vfs centre from Oshodi or Obalende maybe..

I just know its at Lekki phase 1, but its somehow confusing when using Google map

Thanks in anticipation

From oshodi, take bus going to lekki-ajah, tell the bus conductor that you're stopping at ikate roundabout (third roundabout) when you stop, cross over to the other side of the road and enter through the gate. Vfs office is just about 2 minutes walk from the gate.
